Not to mention that the Xbox has been a failure in Japan.
But really, if you want a clear winner. The Wii as of March 2013 has sold 99.84 million consoles worldwide. |
To be fair, Microsoft has increased their market share from 24 million Xbox units, to 76+ million 360s. I'd call that a huge success.
Sony on the other hand, has gone from 150 million PS2's to somewhere around 76 million PS3's.
According to this article, the PS3 is still 50k units shy of the amount of 360 units shipped.

As for Japan, that's a market that doesn't really matter any more. They make up less than 18% of global console sales and that figure has been declining for years. Japan cares more about portable gaming than anything else.
